❝ you shittin’ me? y’know i was in the covert ops division for years, ❞ he’s looking at the other, with an are you serious kind of expression. ❝ ‘course sneakin’ ‘round them is part o’ my style. ❞

JUNKENSTEIN / la muerte me pela los dientes .
long ago in a small village just south of aldersbrunn lived a woman who went by the name of olivia colomar. she traveled from lands far away in search of resources and connections, solely interested in furthering her scientific ventures. olivia found herself interested in what made everyday contraptions and tools work from a young age. as an orphaned child, she occupied herself by taking things apart and putting them back together. as a lonely teenager, she occupied herself by creating her own gadgets. now as an adult, she dedicated herself to greater creations - along the way she found herself interested in the power of lightning and its potential for propelling humanity to a golden new age.
unfortunately, she was born in a time where science was shunned for the sake of religion and women were meant for little more than caring for families. olivia learned in her teenage years that she had to hide her work from the public. it was simple enough to keep it a secret seeing as she was brought up shrouded in secrecy. the problems began when her work started to require more resources - she burned through various metals, alloys, leather, and ink far too quickly. these materials were hard enough to come by without bountiful riches. they were even harder to come by when she was presenting as a woman. she took it upon herself to dress more masculine when in the markets, concealing her most notable features with wigs and baggy clothing.
in her newest town, olivia kept to herself in the house farthest from the others. rumors began to circulate about the newcomer, especially as more and more of the townsfolk were granted glimpses of her work in the midst of traveling to and from the market. whispers of witchcraft circulated, further exaggerated by the tales of a truer witch in the nearby adlersbrunn. with each month the whispers just grew louder with nothing to stop them once the seed was planted. knights and authority were alerted and she was watched closely. every wrong move added to her list of ��crimes” until the day came where she was taken and questioned on her activities. well aware that there was nothing she could do but accept her fate, olivia left them with a final message: if she could come back to life, she would haunt each and every one of them.
… her eternal slumber was evidently not so eternal. despite every bit of logic dictating that she was not to open her eyes ever again, olivia was awoken with a jolt. blinking away the crust of sleep and… well... death, she met her reflection in a set of emerald lenses. the man was far too loud with a foreign accent, pitchy laughter guiding his introduction to her as doctor jamison junkenstein. he had created her, brought her back to life and she was to be the bride of his first revival; an unnamed man that simply grunted in… irritation, perhaps? olivia argued against this - she did not choose to be revived in the first place and she would not be marrying any man. the doctor did not care for her protests. he simply rattled on about his plans, jumping from topic to topic. amongst his ramblings she heard that he would name her “shadow”, a nickname that she decided she would later use as her new alias once she escaped from his castle.
to keep this from getting any longer, i’ll summarize what’s next. “shadow”, translated into sombra by her own accord, escapes from her chains when junkenstein leaves. she takes with her a big sack of his equipment. she travels through the lands and from here on out it’s thread dependent but her default is that she finds the countess’ castle and convinces her to allow her to stay.
some notes on her appearance since this is set in the ~1800s so there would be no cybernetics, dyed hair, etc.
as a nod towards her dyed hair and eyebrow slits, sombra has poliosis. this gives her a natural streak of white hair towards the front of her scalp along with a bit on her left eyebrow. it also fits with her in-game skin/the bride of frankenstein's hair since shes got the white locks on the side!
her eyes are her natural color of very dark brown. they have a purplish tinge after death because monster logic LOL
her eccentric/"punk" fashion is translated into a more gothic fashion sense and how she dresses more masculinely frequently pre-death. i dont want to break immersion and i dont think she would dress to stick out because it would only hold her back and this woman is an Opportunist.
she primarily goes by olivia in this verse. sombra is an alias given to her by junkenstein and its only used after her death!

❛ shoot . [ non-fatally ] shoot my muse . // as a warning ;0c
whispers of wind whipping through bushes and buildings were the only sounds to bleed through the quiet of the night. it was as if the streets of mexico were frozen solid, darkened streets desolate and unlike what sombra was used to growing up. just a few blocks over there was groups of people coming from bars and clubs and los muertos packs littered the alleyways like guard dogs. they had chosen this location for this very reason - lack of foot traffic and lack of security made this the perfect entrance for her team. after all, she was the one who suggested they set up here.
a pop of static, congested feedback, then a gruff voice beginning his headcount on the group via headset. reaper began with the petty goons they brought along as cannon fodder, then came the voice of their reliable assassin, and finally it was the hacker’s turn for roll call. her response was an exaggerated yaaawwwnn which was met with a grunt.
claws swept through the air, leaving behind a set of holograms in their wake. the other talon members communicated amongst themselves as she began to set up in her spot across the bank. security footage, lines upon lines of code, and radars made up the bulk of what was set out in front of her. everything sombra needed to take control of the situation at hand. she began by dimming the lights in the lobby. then, she heard a set of heavy steps behind her.
sombra rose to her feet without a second thought. there shouldn’t be anybody here, not unless they wanted to stargaze atop of a convenience store. she turned quickly only to be met with a man and his rifle. though she could not see his face past the mask, she was well aware of who he was. what she was not aware of was why he was here in dorado. hands raised slowly above her head in a show of false surrender / an attempt to buy herself time before she made a move.
“ … funny seeing you here. “ sombra said as if there was no gun pointed to her gut just a few yards away. she shifted her stance, slowly and carefully bringing her translocator closer as a potential escape. “ is there something you need or are you just here for the view - “
clearly, he had no time to humor her nor did he care for who would hear the shot of his gun. static, this time overwhelming more than just her ears, rolled throughout sombra’s entire body. sharp burning pain concentrated just below her ribs where the shot hit dead on. she doubled over, a pained groan escaping her before she could think to hold it back. knees hit the concrete with a dull thud and jack said something. something about a warning shot. she could not clearly hear, not did she care given the circumstances. one arm cradled her wound as the other clawed at the ground for her teleporter.
“ sorry to - mhhh - cut this meeting short, but i’m not sticking around for another bullet! “ there was bite to her words this time, unlike the casual cadence she preferred to carry in even the most serious of situations. sombra grit her teeth before reeling her free arm back and chucking the translocator far off of the roof. “ by the way, morrison, next time you’re gonna shoot someone? try the actual mercenaries. “

INCOMING EMAIL ;; @mzcal // ASK MEME
( sms ) : you know you can tell me anything, right?
A friend in need is a friend indeed – and this was proving to be true in the case of Emily Fox and Olivia Colomar. They had met about a year ago during a scheduled interview that proved to be a lot more eventful than the photojournalist had bargained for. However, the year had quickly taken a downward spiral as Lena had been stationed far away from their cozy home in King’s Row. As weeks turned into months, the loneliness and fear had started to eat away at the ever growing desperate mind of an anxious woman. Phone calls felt too short and video calls too far in-between, nothing added any warmth into that tiny flat except the company she found in Olivia.
What started as perhaps a weekly tea session had turned into an average lunch for the two, an unconventional friendship forged from a common love of information and politics. One day the conversations began to shift to be more critical of Overwatch, and it began the horrific spiral of many events that would transpire afterwards.
After Lena’s return Emily was not as receptive or warm as she had once been, time and the company she kept had jaded her to some extent. While the two tried to work things out, the fights were more frequent and the disagreements had reached stalemates. While Emily tried not to be selfish, she found herself growing more and more unhappy with their arrangement. Lena got to run off to be the hero and come back with so many broken pieces, and every time Emily would painstakingly glue them back together. Before she ever even finished, Lena was often off to break off another piece of her hard work. The woman was in a never ending cycle of repair, and all for what? An organization that had trouble brewing, the information she was being fed by Olivia only fueled her critical nature.
The time of being a fixer was ending, and the woman Tracer had returned home to was no longer the woman she once knew. One too many health scares, one too many lonely nights — one too many fiendish friends.
It was reaching the apex, and then it finally happened. Like a piece of twine with one too many strands broken, Emily finally snapped.
Keep reading
